** In "Paradise" takes advantage of his friendship with another lawyer, jeopardizing the man's career, in order to garner necessary information. Upon finding out what he's done, the other lawyer gives him a blistering [[The Reason You Suck Speech]] and rebuffs James' attempts to make amends (one of the few times he was genuinely sorry for the problems that he'd caused), saying, "I don't want to be your collateral damage anymore".

** In "Anonymous", humiliates Matt Devlin in court over an error made during the investigation, accusing him of being both dishonest and incompetent (despite knowing full well that he's neither), discrediting not only his testimony, but possibly his tenure as a detective. When Alesha blasts him for this, he dismisses it as "collateral damage".

** "Skeletons". Similarly embarrasses an ex-lover over their past relationship and declares that her sole reason for testifying against him is to get back at him for dumping her. Alesha blasts him for this as well, asking if the woman's reputation was, of course, "collateral damage."

* [[Expy]]: Adam Schiff

* [[Hey ~~Its~~ That Guy]]: Bill Paterson once appeared in a mini-series called ''Criminal Justice'' as a policeman. For added irony, he called the Crown Prosecution Service "the Can't Prosecute Service"
